Monarch Night
Chapter 1035 - 249: 33’s Shock and Collapse [Ten Thousand Words] (Part 3)
While eating, Dongfang Sansan suddenly laughed: "Do you remember when we were kids, we stole the Feng family’s Spirit Potatoes, and hid, covered in dirt, under the trees by the river, munching with a mouth full of mud?"
Xue Fuxiao paused, then smiled nostalgically: "How many years has it been... Ah, I remember you led me to steal them back then; even then, you had so many clever ideas..."
Dongfang Sansan’s smile became warm.
The two sat cross-legged on the ground, munching on True Soul Yin Yang Root.
Their hearts simultaneously traveled back to their childhood, teenage years, youth years, all the way to the present...
Suddenly, their hearts were filled with different emotions.
"The childhood friends we used to play with..." Dongfang Sansan sighed: "It’s just the two of us now, right?"
"Just us..." Xue Fuxiao smiled bitterly: "Yu Tianqi, Rui Qianshan... We only met them later when we wandered the Jianghu... As for childhood companions, it’s just us. Dongfang Siwu hadn’t been born yet..."
The two crunched on the True Soul Yin Yang Root.
Memories flashed by vividly in their minds.
Dongfang Sansan sighed, each bite feeling heart-wrenching. But if he didn’t finish eating, Xue Fuxiao would surely be relentless.
He might even break another piece off.
Simplifying things, they let go and started eating.
Smiling, he said: "Who would’ve thought, we could benefit so much from a younger generation, getting to eat this good stuff today, thanks to Fang Che."
"Yes, that kid is quite impressive."
Xue Fuxiao nodded, then asked: "How do you plan to place him?"
"Fang Che, although young, carries a burden not much lighter than ours."
Dongfang Sansan said: "This wave of assessments for him, on the surface, should be ended. Next, we’ll appoint him. Since Feng Yun is currently stationed in the Southeast, how about appointing Fang Che as a Southeast Headquarters Inspector?"
"General Inspector?"
"No, a regular inspector. Let him follow An Ruoxing."
"Wouldn’t that be too low?"
"Being too high wouldn’t work."
Dongfang Sansan sighed: "We must let him solidify his foundation and move up step by step. Moreover, as far as I know, Fang Che is about to be appointed as the General Inspector of the Yixin Sect."
"Then our regular inspector doesn’t match his high status in the Yixin Sect."
"It’s already an exception. We shouldn’t rush it; after he achieves results, then decide accordingly."
Xue Fuxiao finally nodded, sighing: "It’s somewhat unjust for him."
"There’s no choice."
Dongfang Sansan said: "For his matter, I must meticulously consider each step eight times, from the Guardian Headquarters, the Guardian Southeast Headquarters, Baiyun State; Baiyun Martial Academy, the Yixin Sect, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s headquarters Shi Family, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s younger generation, and also the response from the Vice Sect Leader of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect..."
"Only after thorough examination can the most suitable position be determined."
Dongfang Sansan, somewhat weary, said: "Besides, this guy isn’t content and always rushes. He gives me the impression that he wants to be honored as a martyr as soon as possible, hung on the wall, which isn’t feasible. Therefore, before his appointment, a Wenxin Road trip must be arranged under the guise. I will personally go."
Xue Fuxiao said: "In that case, take the things he wants with you."
"What?"
"The Space Ring and the other resources made into Elixir Pills; the pills might not be ready in time, so just the Space Ring."
"You agreed to the Space Ring?" Dongfang Sansan was stunned, stopping his chewing and looking up at Xue Fuxiao.
"Yes. It’s inconvenient without this thing."
"You really are..."
Dongfang Sansan felt a headache: "I also have to consider this aspect, what if the space ring is discovered by the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s high-level officials? Do you not know that the space ring inherently fluctuates with soul power? Now, his cultivation is far from being able to disguise soul power fluctuations himself."
"I originally wanted to let him reach his natural time, arrange an opponent with a space ring, and at the right time, let him cut and seize it, why did you promise early? What is his current cultivation level?"
"Eighth Grade King Level."
"Too soon! Only King Level!"
Dongfang Sansan felt a bit surprised.
Because this matter had gone out of control.
But since Xue Fuxiao had promised, it must be given. Consequently, this ring... must be well planned.
Frowning deeply in thought.
Xue Fuxiao felt a bit embarrassed and somewhat awkward.
He lowered his head and fiercely gnawed on the True Soul Yin Yang Root.
Crunch, crunch.
Seemingly, I messed things up again?
"Oh right, Feng Yunqi said he wants to come find you, I think there’s a high chance that old boy will lean towards us." Xue Fuxiao recalled something, thinking this could relieve his awkward situation, and earn some credit.
"Hmm? Feng Yunqi?"
Dongfang Sansan felt a bit surprised.
He was already our person, wasn’t he? Why is there a high chance of leaning towards us again? Oh, Xue Fuxiao doesn’t know about this matter.
Thus he asked: "What is he coming for?"
"He wants to discuss using this batch of materials for alchemy."
"Discussing is normal, hmm, hmm? Uh?"
Dongfang Sansan suddenly raised his head, holding a mouthful of True Soul Yin Yang Root, looking at Xue Fuxiao: "What did you say? Use this batch of materials for alchemy?"
"Yes."
Xue Fuxiao said matter-of-factly.
"You let him see this pile?" Dongfang Sansan’s face changed.
"Yes."
Xue Fuxiao said: "Without seeing it, why would that old thing have the kindness to help us with alchemy? This is bait..."
Dongfang Sansan’s complexion visibly worsened, looking at Xue Fuxiao, he chastised: "Can your brain be clear? How can these resources be shown to him? Once that old thing sees so many treasures, can he still sleep? Wouldn’t I be annoyed to death?"
